A wheel with A groove in it where a belt or rope moves

Question 10

What is friction

Answer 10

A force that resists motion between two objects that touch. There’s more friction between rough things than smooth things

Question 14

What is a fixed pulley

Answer 14

A fixed pulley uses one rope and one pulley

Question 15

Answer 21

Clothes line, flag pole, window blinds, wheel and rope, and a wishing pulley

Question 22

Name two belt drive systems and how to the driver and follower move

Answer 22

Crossed belt makes them move in opposite directions

Regular belt makes them move the same way

Question 23

How do gears move on wheel on wheel contact?

What if there’s an idler

Answer 23

No idler they move in opposite directions

1 idler in the middle makes the wheels turn in the same direction

Question 24

How do gear on a bike work?

Which do you use to go uphill and downhill

Answer 24

2 gears are attached by a chain and so the pedal is the lever turning the pedals drives the chain
Uphill: lower gear you have to pedal more to make it easier to go uphill
Downhill: higher gear you pedal less and the wheel turns more

Question 25

What happens if you add more pulleys to help lift something

Answer 25

The effort is cut in half making it easier
